After scanning a few people, some art, and even my cat I was approached by Arland Whitfield, founder of Skyworks, with the idea to put our heads together & scan something BIG.

The building we decided on was Holden Observatory on Syracuse University's campus, being one of the oldest buildings in the area and at a little over 2 stories tall it was the perfect sized challenge to try and bite off

I want to see a drone that models the interior of a building by flying through and scanning as it goes, like the devices in the movie "Prometheus".  

I would be surprised if the military is not already working on something like that.

I was thinking for a minute that since you would want live updates said drone, if for the military, would probably want to leave sensors in it's path. Then I thought it might be too expensive, but this thought came to mind; if it dropped little things that looked like devices everywhere, with blinking lights on them, that would sure freak out your enemy for cheap.

Mark, someone already did this with their R2-D2 (I think in Germany) and Google is testing this with their project Tango using cell phone cameras.
